[HTC Rezound] md303:
Thanks for the great CM10.1 build sir! :good:

I'm especially pleased now that tethering and camcorder work.

Battery life is very important to me, because I spend a lot of time on airplanes and using GPS in rental cars. After a year and a half using the Rezound with many different Sense and AOSP builds, here's my current recipe for best performance, stability and battery life. THE GOVERNOR, DISPLAY AUTO-BRIGHTNESS CURVE, AND DISABLING THE BUTTON BACKLIGHT ARE YOUR BEST BANG-FOR-BUCK TWEAKS!!

Ingredients:

Wildstang83's CM10.1 ROM

IHateWebOS's AOSP Kernel

Kernel Tuner app

Auto WiFi Toggle app

ADW Launcher app

Battery Monitor Widget app

HTC Rezound Proximity Sensor Calibrator

^^^^ It works! ^^^

CM10.1 settings menu:

Wi-Fi -> Advanced: Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep = Always

Wi-Fi -> Advanced: Wi-Fi Optimization = TRUE

Display -> Brightness: Automatic brightness = TRUE

Display -> Brightness -> Adjust: 10%, 18%, 25%, 35%, 40%, 47%, 56%, 63%, 68%, 73%

Display -> Brightness -> Sleep after = 2 minutes of inactivity

Developer Options -> Window animation scale = 0.5x

Developer Options -> Transition animation scale = 0.5x Update: These settings reduce the GPU required to animate, and it makes a huge difference!

Developer Options -> Animator duration scale = 1x

Performance -> 16-bit transparency = TRUE

Performance -> Processor -> CPU0 Minimum freq = 192 MHz

Performance -> Processor -> CPU0 Maximum freq = 1728 MHz

Performance -> Processor -> Set on boot = FALSE

Performance -> I/O Scheduler = ROW

Performance -> I/O Scheduler -> Set on boot = FALSE

Kernel Tuner config for IHateWebOS's kernel:

CPU -> Link Cores = FALSE

CPU -> CPU0 Governor = Lulzactive

CPU -> CPU1 Governor = Badass

CPU -> CPU0 Minimum freq = 192 MHz

CPU -> CPU0 Maximum freq = 1728 MHz

CPU -> CPU1 Minimum freq = 192 MHz

CPU -> CPU1 Maximum freq = 1134 MHz Seems to have little to no detrimental effect on general phone usage, and positive effect on battery savings. I don't play games much but Angry Birds still plays flawlessly :)

GPU -> 3D max freq = 320 MHz

GPU -> 2D maq freq = 266 MHz HIRO 3_30 kernel and later

Misc -> Capacitive buttons = 0%

Misc -> Fastcharge = TRUE

Misc -> Vsync = FALSE

Misc -> Color depth = 24-bit

Misc -> IO Scheduler = ROW

Misc -> SD Card Cache Size = 256

Save this config as a profile and apply it. Make sure the app is set to start on bootup, reset to defaults on kernel change, and that CyanogenMod performance settings are NOT set on boot!

Auto Wi-Fi Toggle settings:

These vary from person to person depending on lifestyle and phone usage. Basically, set the work frequency default to 30 minutes. Set the work schedule checkboxes for the hours you are normally awake. Set the checked times' frequency to 30 minutes, except for the time periods where you are likely to leave Wi-Fi coverage (like going to lunch, long commute, etc). If you commute from 7am to 8am, set the work frequency to 60. If you go home->Starbucks->home like I do in the morning, set the work frequency for that time period to 10-15 minutes. You want Wi-Fi radio powered off whenever you know you'll be away from an access point.

Wi-Fi Auto Off setting: Force your Wi-Fi radio to power off at bedtime.

ADW Launcher:

Has been my favorite launcher since the very beginning when I got my HTC Incredible AMOLED. The "4D" app drawer is SILKY SMOOTH, smoother than any other stock or custom launcher I have ever used.

ADW Settings -> Screen -> Desktop Scrolling Speed = 115

ADW Settings -> Screen -> Desktop Bounce = 10

ADW Settings -> Screen -> Wallpaper scrolling = TRUE

ADW Settings -> App Drawer -> Zoom effect speed = 300

Battery Monitor Widget:

Great app for learning your batteries min/max voltage, mAh capacity, monitoring capacity degradation over time, etc.

I use this app to log battery consumption so that I can detect if I've made a change to the phone that is causing abnormal battery drain.

Using these settings and tools I get 30+ hours battery life. Battery drain is slow, predictable and consistent throughout the entire week. With the screen off, playing MP3s in Apollo, and Wi-Fi/CDMA radios on, the entire device consumes roughly 240 mA. EDIT: As of CM10.1 build "20130315" and the 4/25/13 HIRO kernel, average power consumption is down to an amazing 65 mA in this state!!!

My phone is always COLD to the touch whenever it has been sleeping for 10-15 mins, and whenever I wake the phone up, I am always surprised at how little the battery meter has gone down. In Airplane mode and screen off, I can listen to music for an entire 4.5 hour plane ride, play quite a few levels of Angry Birds, check my location frequently with Flyover GPS, and still have plenty of juice to listen to more music and use GPS until I arrive at whatever hotel I happen to be sleeping in that week :silly:

Antutu benchmark from a few minutes ago (Governor = Performance):

I don't think Verizon is doing anything like that. I am grandfathered into the true unlimited data plan and I use data and tethering constantly because hotel "high-speed internet" is usually too slow for email and VPN/RDP. I can EASILY tether for 2-3 hours worth of HD Netflix. My monthly average (when I am traveling for work) is 25 gigabytes/month over 4G. I often have to use tethering for my laptop while on customer sites due to their vendor access policies.
